Former Phoenix Suns center Shaquille O’Neal has a pretty unique relationship with big men, and by unique, I mean mostly combative and strangely competitive. But curiously enough, one center who has earned the support and admiration of The Big Aristotle is Bol Bol, the 7’2″ son of 7’7″ NBA legend Manute Bol. In his first […]

The San Antonio Spurs defied not just expectations but algorithms that were rooting against them.

In what may have been the best game of the young NBA season so far, the Phoenix Suns suffered a stunning loss to the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday night, getting outscored 33-14 in the fourth quarter to fall 115-114. The loss was the result of a controversial play at the end of regulation, when […]

The 2023-24 NBA season has begun and every single team has now played at least one game, resulting in plenty of fan bases already freaking out about the good and bad things they saw from opening night. Of course the first game of the year matters, as it helps set the pace for how each […]
